2. Make certain that all pins, pivot points, and
bearing surfaces are protected with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do NOT oil
excessively.
3. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping areas and store the tool in a clean,
dry area.
7.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool and/or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection per month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company
standards. These inspections should be performed in
the following sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all parts are securely in place.
If replacements are necessary, refer to the parts
list in Figure 11.
3. Inspect crimping areas for chipped or cracked
surfaces.
B. Handle Adjustment Inspection (Figure 9)
The handle adjustment should be checked to ensure
that the dies are bottoming fully. The handle
adjustment feature is provided to compensate for
normal die wear. To check the handle adjustment:
1. Open the tool handles fully.
2. Rotate the No. 4 wire size dies into crimping
position.
3. Close the tool handles until the dies are
bottomed, but not under pressure.
4. Measure the distance between the tool handles,
as shown in Figure 9. The measurement must be
between 28.58 [1.125] and 38.10 [1.500]. If the
adjustment does not fall within this range, the
adjustment must be tightened or loosened as
necessary.
